Well Inspections and Water Sampling in Bakersfield
Part of the inspection services that we offer is well inspections. If you are looking to buy a home that includes a private well, the inspectors at Kern River Home inspections can inspect the visible above-ground components for condition, complete a basic flow test, and also perform water sampling and transportation of samples to a certified lab for testing. We also provide and compile a full report which will be provided to the buyer or client.
Kern River Home Inspections has an offer that if a well inspection is completed at the same time as a general home inspection, you can save $50.00!
Kern River Home Home Inspections also offers stand-alone well inspections in Bakersfield and other areas. The price for a stand-alone well inspection with basic bacteria water testing is $450.00. Kern River Home Inspections offers stand-alone water sampling. The pricing depends on the location and what tests are specifically requested.
Note: A basic yield test or flow test is not necessarily indicative of how the well will perform long term; it is only to be used as a guide as to how much water the well may yield. This is because it is a snapshot of the well, not a long-range test. There are many variables, such as the amount of rainfall the area has recently received, the level of the water table at that time, the type of aquifer, and the specific usage or demands on the well. The flow test does not represent actual recovery in the well and may only reflect adequate storage in the well at the time of testing. This test represents conditions and data collected on the day of testing. If more extensive testing is needed, such as a true yield test where static, drawdown, and recovery rates are determined, you should contact a licensed well contractor.
